Here’s Why ANYONE Can Run A Marathon

Sorry if that headline sounds like one of those crappy ‘I claimed two million pounds from my bank, this is how!’ adverts but there is some truth nestled in the hyperbole. Anyone that has run a marathon, at one point, properly didn’t believe they could ever run a marathon.

The reason we’re writing about marathon running in November is because if you start training now, you’ll be way ahead of the curve for the summertime. Unfortunately, due to the huge demand, it’s unlikely that you’ll get a spot in the London Marathon.

This year Eddie Izzard ran 27 marathons in 27 days for Sport Relief. He did it by sticking to a slow and steady pace – around 12 to 13 minutes a mile – nearly half the speed of the world class marathon runners.

There you have it, you’re not going to break any records but with the right preparation you can slowly finish a marathon.
